triple negative breast cancer. mostly positive blogger

Ever since my last post I have been meaning to get on and write an update. The problem was that I kept waiting until I had more information. I kept saying "I'll update after my final chemo" which led to "No, I'll wait until my re-staging scans" and then "Well I'll just wait to update … Continue reading 30% less boob, 100% less cancer

***I have been meaning to write a blog post for some time now. I also wanted to write a nice letter to Maegan. I figured I would do both at the same time! Maegan, This is quite a journey we're on. I'd lived a pretty uneventful life up until meeting you, so I like to … Continue reading A Love Letter to My Wife

January 20th will be my final infusion chemotherapy session. This is how I feel about that. I've never been one to oppose change but I have found myself to be extremely nostalgic the older I get. I never thought this would apply to anything related to cancer. This is one reason, among many, that I … Continue reading Why I’m Afraid to Get Better

Ahhh it's been almost 2 months since I've posted! To be honest I have been working and living (it feels like, without cancer) all month that writing kept slipping my mind! It's so nice to get on here and information-dump. While it will be a lot of catching up on your end, I hope this … Continue reading Yippee-Ki-Yay Mother Cancer!

You might wonder why I use so many bullet points and horizontal lines in my blog posts. I have ADHD and some mild chemo brain. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 16 and for years I was on meds that helped throughout college. As I got older I found ways to help myself … Continue reading Wiggin (with)out

HI, YOU CAN CALL ME ADELE NOW BECAUSE THIS IS HOW I FEEL. I was admitted to the hospital on the morning of 10/23 (around 2:00am) and wasn't discharged until the following Friday afternoon. I am free at last! I tried blogging from the hospital bed but this is as far as I got (I … Continue reading Oh Chemo, you didn’t!

This will be a quick update as there isn't too much to say! Similar to my first biopsy I was told "we will contact you at the end of the week" and both times I was contacted on a Wednesday! I guess bad news travels fast. I was at work yesterday and I got a … Continue reading Son of a lump

Last week I was telling myself that because my last two blog entries were bummers, I should work on posting something positive this week. I was really hoping that today I could tell you about my great pre-surgical appointment and how everything is going according to plan. Unfortunately, I can't do that. I really, really, really … Continue reading Another Lump in The Road

It's been over a month since my last blog post because there haven't been many medical updates. I finished my 7th Taxol treatment yesterday (5 more to go) and I have my next surgical consultation on September 26th. The first couple of weeks after my last post I was doing really well. I was able … Continue reading I’m dying. Of boredom (I thought I should clarify)
